Well, there certainly is an awful lot going on just now,
isn't there? Paradigms and belief
systems are being crushed beneath the weight of the indifferent corruption
which they spawned, as a gnarly case of reality cramps sets in among the
masses across the planet. The planning
of future wars while still mired down in the ones of our own making appeals to
fewer people by the day, and thus the awakening surges like a tsunami
across a planet in the throes of transformation, between Scylla and
Charybdis, as it were. Eroded by
built in corruption, the mighty capitalist empire falls in upon itself now as
the law of unforeseen consequences plays merry hob with the gatekeepers
ability to keep it all together. Humpty
Dumpty.

Simultaneously with those preparing for Armageddon & a side order of apocalypse; there are
those who are preparing for something altogether different, something
transcendent they have been waiting their entire lives for, which is now at
hand as we at last pass out of the Kali Yuga and into the gates of
Aquarius. How very interesting and convenient
it is to have all of this happening just as the renowned Mayan calendar ends
one Baktun and begins another. It
rather makes sense.

Where we are today reminds me a whole lot of the fall of the
Mayan empire, as they too fell to the combined foes of conspicuous over consumption
of finite resources, war, drought, disease, and overpopulation. Yes, the Maya
were masters of time, and certainly architecture, as what they built and
maintained for 2000 years was more advanced than the Babylonians or even the
Egyptians. Still more impressive is that
they did all of it without the benefit of metal tools, the wheel or even pack
animals. Like us, they were also an
aggressive and bloodthirsty lot given to wholesale human sacrifice, which included
children painted with Maya Blue pigment and sacrificed to the water god
by being thrown into the Cenote, a natural forming limestone sinkhole
holding ground water.

That they also used the same source for drinking water was
no doubt a contributing influence to their eventual downfall...which brings me
to my question for today...

Where Did the Maya
Go ?

In the modern day state of Chiapas,
Mexico at the site of the
ancient Maya city of Palenque,
stands the largest known Mesoamerican stepped pyramid. It's called the Temple
of Inscriptions and is a
funeral monument for King K'inich Janaab Pakal, who ruled the great Maya
empire from age twelve for nearly seventy years. Pakal was responsible for much of the
construction and expansion of Palenque,
as well as the empire and in the fullness of time, was deified. As was the general custom of Mayan rulers, it
was a very big thing to be able to trace one's linage directly back to the
ancestors from which they sprang forth...the sky people...so it's no
great surprise they said that King Pakal communicated with the ancestors.

Something I have wondered all my life is how can science
ignore the fact that a great many indigenous people, including the Maya, have
origin myths which include sky people coming from the heavens
to teach them - and in every single ancient culture there is a promise by the
gods, to one day return! Clearly the
Maya cosmology included the existence of portals to other worlds or dimensions,
many in the form of the T shaped Tau Cross carved into solid walls, and
other times as windows themselves. This
same exact thing has been discovered in Egyptian, Hopi, and Anasazi
sites as well. Essentially, the Tau
cross represents the sacred tree at the center of creation. Consider also that the Maya deity Kukulkan,
the feathered serpent, is nearly identical to other flying feathered serpents
found in other sacred belief structures around the world; such as the Nagas
in the Mahabharata from ancient India. Hmmm, perhaps something else that science is
reluctant to discuss, or investigate.
Considering the Mayan creation story; is it so unreasonable to conclude
as some do, that in the end, they returned from where they originated ~ the
sky? Perhaps Erich Von Daniken
was right about the depiction carved into King Pakal's sarcophagus lidbeing
that of the king himself at the controls of a flying craft of some sort.

Many years after king Pakal's reign, the Mayan empire was in
it's final stages of disintegration.
After the northern city of Calakmul
sacked Palenque in 711 it was
pretty much downhill from there, as the many various city-states began warring
with each other for supreme dominance, over a dead civilization. The question remains...What happened to the
Maya? Where did they go? Did some of them make use of portals, while
others departed aboard spacecraft? Or,
did they all just eventually die off or become assimilated into other
cultures? Perhaps, as many conjecture,
some of the Maya may well have departed their homeland and migrated somewhere
else; as humans tend to do when their homeland is devastated. If so, where might they have gone to start
over and begin again, what lands might have called to them with the promise of
a peaceful future?

In February of 2000 a
group of archaeologists examine an unidentified site in Georgia's
Chattahoochee national forest. It is a massive configuration of 300 stone
mounds. The site is carbon dated to 1000 AD, and becomes known as the Track
Rock Ruins. Soon, controversial
evidence surfaces linking the site to Maya prophecy. According to Creek Indian expert Richard
Thornton: "Regarding the Mayans migrating into Georgia,
it's not theory - it's fact."
The Itza Maya moved north into what is now Georgia,
becoming the Creek Indians. Thornton
notes similarities in language, architecture, use of water, terracing
hillsides, art, iconography, and temple alignment; to substantiate
his findings.

Earlier this year the History channel aired the pilot
episode of "America Unearthed" featuring Scott Wolter,
forensic geologist & president of
American Petroglyph Services. The episode, [complete video below]
examines the entire Maya-Georgia connection.

Among the artifacts discovered at the track rock ruins are spiral
mounds, which are Identical to spiral mounds found in Ocmulgee
Georgia and Xochitecal Mexico.
The Creek Indians once used these mounds for their sacred ceremonial Snake
dance. Hmmm, only slightly
reminiscent of a feathered serpent god being honored in dance. Along with nearly identical iconography as
the Maya, the Creek Indians had very similar sacred beliefs & practices as well...just one more link,
strengthening the connection.

Not far away from the Track Rock ruins is an ancient
artifact known as the Forsyth Petroglyph which essentially is a great
stone boulder about nine feet long by three feet wide, in the shape of some
cosmic potato. What makes it so interesting
are the 17 symbols carved into it's surface which seem to indicate a possible
ancient event.

The thing is, that nobody knows what the symbols
refer to because nobody can read them, and even the oldest Indian
inhabitants of the area do not remember - Nobody knows what the message
on the stone means...it is very ancient.

Some folks believe it makes reference to some cosmic event
such as a supernova , while others think it may be a star map of some kind that
we are too young to decipher as of yet.
The speculation goes on and on, but nobody knows! I find that really interesting. Here we are so smug in our technology and
full of our own cosmic significance, yet nobody knows what those 17
symbols on that rock mean.

When the Spanish discovered Lake Okeechobee
in the 16th century; they found three
different indigenous tribes living around it: the Mayaimi, the Mayaka,& the Mayayuaca. Even more evidence to verify that the Mayan
migration to Georgia
& Florida took place as
indicated. At this point, the only
people refuting this are the same ones responsible for the existence of
something called Forbidden Archeology; those wishing to promote only a
version of history which benefits or acknowledges them, regardless of
the truth. Don't we now have to at least
wonder why the word Maya is prominent in each of the Lake
Okeechobee tribes...and wonder as well just how the city of Miami
got it's name? Hmmm. Makes ya wonder, indeed!

So, where did the Maya go?
The very first thing we must ask in looking at Maya spiritual beliefs is
on what basis did they feel these beliefs.
Were they like us, accepting things on the say-so of the
priesthood? Or, was their spirituality
more experientially based? It is said
that Kukulkan came from the sky to teach the people. The ancient legends say that at a prescribed
moment in time, Kukulkan took eight young boys aside from the tribe: and taught
them math, astronomy, engineering and many other things. These eight boys then became the first
priests, who in turn would pass the knowledge on to the people, and guide
them.

From 250 to 900 AD the Maya were the most advanced
astronomers on the planet. They had
calculated the orbit of Venus to within 6 hours!! Since they were
not around for the 6000 years needed to plot this planetary
orbit...How did they come by the information? It had to come from somewhere...I
mean the Maya priests didn't just pull it out of their...feathered
headdress...where did the knowledge come from?
A very good question if I say so myself!

Perhaps King Pakal led a Mayan migration to other
destinations in the galaxy; just as the Itza Maya migrated to Florida
& Georgia. To be sure, a great number of the Maya simply
fled the warfare & chaos of a dying
empire - to eventually be absorbed into other tribes and other cultures; which
is no doubt why still today the Maya bloodline exists; in fact, my upstairs
neighbor's wife has Maya blood in her veins.
Not ALL of them left, many are still among us now.

But what of the rest, just where did the Maya
go? You can take your best guess at that if you want, but as
for me; I am more interested in where WE will go, now that we're
living thru our own equivalent of the death of an empire. Where will we go when our moment in time is
over, and all we've ever known ends, now that there are no more vacant lands to
migrate to?

I tend to be a pack-rat when it comes to data & images because you just never know when
that new nugget of information will be useful or needed. Accordingly I spend a good deal of time
organizing files for ease in finding &
retrieving the perfect nugget, photo or link when needed.

Invariably there are always those rogue tasty tidbits of
information which defy easy categorization, so they float about here and there
waiting their turn.

Augureye Express observed it's first birthday a month
ago, and in that year I have squirreled away dozens of links, anticipating
their eventual use in a blog post. I
kept coming across similar unused links on a recent organizational
binge, and suddenly realized they are a blog post in & of themselves ~ A list of lists!

In 1977 David Wallechinsky, Irving Wallace & Amy Wallace published the first volume
of their "Book of Lists" which became the standard that many others
have since followed.

So in a similar
vein, here is my list of lists for 2012 -2013.

Take your time, there are some real gems here, and certainly, there is
something for almost everyone.

A term we see increasingly these days is spiritual
warrior: and though at first it may sound heroic and noble, when you really
think it over it's just another oxymoron like military intelligence,
&jumbo shrimp. Outwardly the
spiritual warrior is one who champions the cause of spirituality by daily practicing
it in a way which strengthens the soul and inspires others.On a deeper level the spiritual warrior
forever walks the shadows between the darkness and the light, standing guard
against those dark brothers in dark robes.Perhaps the greatest battle the
spiritual warrior fights is the one within; coming to terms with the duality
and dichotomy of existence itself.

To some, the undertaking of spiritual practice at first
seems to be all about expanding our spiritual horizons, to become a fully
realized being on all levels.Because we
seek to better ourselves does not mean we are better than others in any
way.In fact, the whole point of
spiritual practice isn't to become bigger or more, but rather to disappear
all together, dissolved into the one cosmic consciousness.The "more spiritual" we become, the
less likely we are to see violence as an option; and yet so very often the way
of the warrior embraces it to one degree or another; that in the end we become
the peaceful warriors Dan Millman wrote about.

To become a warrior against violence & intolerance is the way of the spiritual warrior,
first in one's own life, and then to the world we perceive around
us.When we find our way and follow our
heart we begin to raise our vibration higher.This inspires us to empower ourselves even more, thus being as a light
house or an example for others.Not for them to follow your path, but that by following their
path...these things and so much more can be accomplished. This isn't an either/or
universe; it's more of a both/and kinda place.There isn't just one way, or a single path to
follow.Some would say there are twelve
paths, while others still see them as infinite.The pathways may vary but the qualities gained while walking them are
universal, and all lead to the same truth.

The spiritual warrior climbs the mountain of their
consciousness, there to do battle with their own demons, learning how to defeat
them; then returning back down the mountain to share what has been
learned.Yes, at times the spiritual
warrior must engage in energetic conflicts and psychic battles with those of
the opposite polarity; but this is seen as more of a balancing than a
true act of violence.Spiritual warriors
never seek revenge even when such constraint rips their very soul asunder.Once a universal truth is learned it cannot
be un-learned, and thus, to go against that knowing only serves to
increase the damage & loss."Vengeance is mine, I will repay,
said the Lord" Romans 12:19

Those who choose to walk a spiritual path in this life often
come to accept that they will be walking it alone.In the final analysis there are as many
reasons for this as there are belief systems, because most are, sadly, still
preaching separation rather than teaching Unity.When the mind becomes locked into any
ideology that demonizes those of other beliefs, true progress is unlikely and
enlightenment impossible.When we
deny the divinity of others, we diminish our own divinity exponentially; and
distance ourselves from our source. Does
each grain of sand believe itself separate from the beach?Does the drop of seawater believe it is the
entire ocean?

When you stand far enough back from it all; it becomes plain
to see that part of humanity is invested in keeping us all apart, as another
part tries to get us to come together, with everyone else caught in between
this sibling rivalry of cosmic proportions.Unfortunately for everyone, this dichotomy is
supported and enforced by those who seek to maintain their control over this
planet and it's slave population.The
very last thing they want is for humanity to unite and progress toward
enlightenment.Remove all the window
dressing and distractions and the truth is easy to see.What will you do about it?

This then is the battle most spiritual warriors find
themselves engaged in most often, and if you aren't cautious you'll find
yourself still fighting this 'battle' when the opportunity arrives to
progress to a vaster reality, leaving all the childishness behind.Yes, it is still important to fight "the
good fight" - just not on 4D earth, as that battle will never cease.

For a great many at this time The Good Fight has now
become internal once again; as we detach from what was, in order to
embrace what will be.The
conflict now is with the remnants of our ego, and the strength of our
convictions.

Don't believe
everything you think!

As we know, our thoughts are very powerful because it is
through our thoughts that we create the 'reality' we perceive; yet most people
still toss them around mindless of the chaos and pain they create...never
understanding the cause & effect
relationship at play.This disharmonious
equation is made worse when we consider that most of the things coming out of
most of the mouths are just rehashed, recycledthoughts picked up
from some outside source rather than original thought, the product of
critical thinking. People latch onto
some outside thought, usually because of its intentionally crafted
packaging and usage.Because it sounds
intellectual and hip, people remember and repeat the slickly wrapped thought or
belief, as if it IS original, and before ya know it, the thought
becomes a belief...without ever having to pass much scrutiny of verification.Lamentably, a great many people form entire
belief systems this way, assimilating slick sounding syllables to seem smarter
than they really are; instead of thru personal experience.Wading thru stuff such as that in the general
population is what wears down a good many spiritual warriors over time.They become jaded and world weary realizing
as they do that much of humanity is still not ready for their message; still
not willing to evolve.Add to this the
aspect of walking the spiritual path alone; and we begin to understand why so
many light workers and spiritual warriors are opting for the higher vibrations
of fifth dimensional resonance.

Fifth dimensional emergence is already making itself known
in various ways.Many have noticed that
the sun is a bit brighter than usual these days while also noting that time
has taken on some rather elastic attributes of late as well.Then there is the whole insanity of multiple
synchronicities occurring in a short span of time.One person recently told me of having three
different experiences each repeat themselves three times
in a single day.Or perhaps you find
yourself seeing 11:11 all the time,
or variations thereof such as 12:12,
12:34, etc, etc. - this too is
another 5D signpost.Yet another
"sign of the times" being experienced by many is that some things
which once seemed so important now seem trivial and of little merit.Just ask your friends and co-workers if they
have experienced any of these things ~ you will be surprised at how many
have!Spiritual warriors and light
workers are following these breadcrumb trails to a higher vibrational state of
being because something in their soul tells them that their time is NOW!

The Mastodon in
the Room!

Have you noticed how an awful lot of upscale insanity
has erupted across this planet in just the last little while?All the sudden unrest with Egypt&Syria
on top of an imminent war involving the rest of the mid-east countries...now
the U.S. Government is shut down, and this time there is more behind it than
the usual dickish bickering between greedy haters.There are those who believe the USA
ran out of money last May, and has been propping up a house of cards ever
since...squeezing out every last dollar possible exactly like sharks in a blood-in-the-water
feeding frenzy. These same folks will
tell you that the reason the government shut itself down was to give themselves
a head start.They know something is
about to happen and they're not talking about it.

Fact is, almost nobody is talking about the one thing we
should all be talking about, and that is the announced plans from Tepco to
begin removing many thousands of spent fuel rods from those crippled reactors
at Fukushima.Not to put too fine a
point on it, but, if there is any mishap at all with those fuel rods, the
release of radioactivity would be many times greater and deadlier than what has
already leaked into the air and been deliberately dumped directly into
the pacific ocean.One miscalculation or
bad judgment call from Tepco with those fuel rods and the life priorities of
seven billion humans changes instantly, and not in a life affirming way.This then is the Mastodon in the room, the
one thing certain to kill every living organism except
roaches and some bacteria - and nobody wants to talk about it, much less DO
something about it.This is also what
has spawned this feeding frenzy of aggression - it's the final grab before the
balloon goes up.Is 5D resonance looking
better to you yet?

The one thing most responsible for the demise of humanity is
politics.This is easily understood by
breaking the word down to it's root meanings: Poli- meaning many, and Tics-
Blood sucking parasites!These greedy
haters are psychopaths not the least bit interested in the upliftment of
humanity, or anything beyond their own net worth.Seeing they would sooner burn it all down
than to yield their power; the responsible spiritual warrior must choose their
options from a dwindling menu of possibilities. Some are moving on to higher frequencies and
vaster realities, while others will stay to assist those remaining with the 4D
version of earth; when the timelines finally split permanently.

The future is being born right before our very eyes, and it
is beckoning us to be participants rather than spectators...for as we have
seen, if we don't create the world the way we think it should be; someone else
will do it for us.How are you liking
the results so far?

"It was the
fall of the year 2013; and the wars had paused unexpectedly.

All around us it
was as if the universe was holding its breath; waiting...

All of life can be
broken down into moments of transition

and moments of
revelation.This has the feeling of
both!

There is a greater
darkness than the one we fight,

it is the darkness
of the soul that has lost it's way.

The war we fight is
not against powers and principalities;

but against chaos
and despair.

Greater than the
death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams.
